c794c163b5 lvmconfig: add --type full to display full tree of settings
The lvmconfig --type full is actually a combination of --type current
and --type missing together with --mergedconfig options used.

The overall outcome is a configuration tree with settings as LVM sees
it when it looks for the values - that means, if the setting is defined
in some config source (lvm.conf, --config, lvmlocal.conf or any profile
that is used), the setting is used. Otherwise, if the setting is not
defined in any part of the config cascade, the defaults are used.

The --type full displays exactly this final tree with all the values
defined, either coming from configuration tree or from defaults.

a4724350e4 lvmconfig: add --withspaces option
We shouldn't be adding spaces by default in output as that
may be be used already in scripts and especially for the eval
in shell scripts where spaces are not allowed between key
and value!

Add --withspaces option to lvmconfig for pretty output with
more space in for readability.

fc65269d68 lvmconfig: add supporting code for handling deprecated settings
This patch adds supporting code for handling deprecated settings.

Deprecated settings are not displayed by default in lvmconfig output
(except for --type current and --type diff). There's a new
"--showdeprecated" lvmconfig option to display them if needed.

Also, when using lvmconfig --withcomments, the comments with info
about deprecation are displayed for deprecated settings and with
lvmconfig --withversions, the version in which the setting was
deprecated is displayed in addition to the version of introduction.

If using --atversion with a version that is lower than the one
in which the setting was deprecated, the setting is then considered
as not deprecated (simply because at that version it was not
deprecated).

For example:

$ lvmconfig --type default activation
activation {
        ...
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated
activation {
        ...
	mirror_region_size=512
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withversions
activation {
        ...
	# Available since version 1.0.0.
	# Deprecated since version 2.2.99.
	mirror_region_size=512
	# Available since version 2.2.99.
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --showdeprecated --withcomments
activation {
        ...
	# Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
	# This has been replaced by the activation/raid_region_size
	# setting.
	# Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
	# This configuration option is deprecated.
	mirror_region_size=512

	# Configuration option activation/raid_region_size.
	# Size in KiB of each raid or mirror synchronization region.
	# For raid or mirror segment types, this is the amount of
	# data that is copied at once when initializing, or moved
	# at once by pvmove.
	raid_region_size=512
        ...
}

$ lvmconfig --type default activation --withcomments --atversion 2.2.98
activation {
       ...
       # Configuration option activation/mirror_region_size.
       # Size (in KB) of each copy operation when mirroring.
       mirror_region_size=512
       ...
}

8b6b90b073 config: consolidate CFG_UNSUPPORTED and CFG_ADVANCED settings
These settings are in the "unsupported" group:

devices/loopfiles
log/activate_file
metadata/disk_areas (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area> (section)
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/size
metadata/disk_areas/<disk_area>/id

These settings are in the "advanced" group:

devices/dir
devices/scan
devices/types
global/proc
activation/missing_stripe_filler
activation/mlock_filter
metadata/pvmetadatacopies
metadata/pvmetadataignore
metadata/stripesize
metadata/dirs

Also, this patch causes the --ignoreunsupported and --ignoreadvanced
switches to be honoured for all config types (lvmconfig --type).

By default, the --type current and --type diff display unsupported
settings, the other types ignore them - this patch also introduces
--showunsupported switch for all these other types to display even
unsupported settings in their output if needed.

3be3eb2995 lvmconfig: add --type list and -l|--list
lvmconfig --type list displays plain list of configuration settings.
Some of the existing decorations can be used (--withsummary and
--withversions) as well as existing options/switches (--ignoreadvanced,
--ignoreunsupported, --ignorelocal, --atversion).

For example (displaying only "config" section so the list is not long):

$lvmconfig --type list config
config/checks
config/abort_on_errors
config/profile_dir

$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.

$ lvmconfig -l config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported.
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found.
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles.

$ lvmconfig --type list --withsummary --withversions config
config/checks - If enabled, any LVM configuration mismatch is reported. [2.2.99]
config/abort_on_errors - Abort the LVM process if a configuration mismatch is found. [2.2.99]
config/profile_dir - Directory where LVM looks for configuration profiles. [2.2.99]

Example with --atversion (displaying global section):

$ lvmconfig --type list global
global/umask
global/test
global/units
global/si_unit_consistency
global/suffix
global/activation
global/fallback_to_lvm1

3f0434057b config: Introduce lvmconfig.
'lvm dumpconfig' now does a lot more than just dumping configuration
information and is no longer only a support tool.  Users now need
to run it to find out about configuration information that has been
removed from the lvm.conf man page so we need to promote this to full
command line status as 'lvmconfig'.  Also accept 'lvm config' and mention
it in the usage information of lvmconf (which should also get merged in
eventually).

47ed4cdc35 config: remove duplication of settings
The specific config settings have been removed
from the lvm.conf(5) man page, and replaced with
a description of how to use lvm dumpconfig to
view the settings.

The sample lvm.conf and lvmlocal.conf files are now generated:

example.conf.base  - initial ungenerated part of the file
example.conf.gen   - generated portion from dumpconfig
example.conf.in    - combination of .base and .gen files
example.conf       - result of configure processing .in file

lvmlocal.conf.base - initial ungenerated part of the file
lvmlocal.conf.gen  - generated portion from dumpconfig
lvmlocal.conf.in   - combination of .base and .gen files
lvmlocal.conf      - result of configure processing .in file

Do not edit the .in files, but edit config_settings.h
or the .base files, and then use 'make generate' to create
the new .in files.

- configure
  with options

- make
  creates tools/lvm

- make generate
  uses tools/lvm to create example.conf.in and lvmlocal.conf.in
  by combining .base files with dumpconfig output.

- configure
  with same options as above
  creates example.conf and lvmlocal.conf from .in files

f814d763c6 lvmconf: add --enable-halvm, --disable-halvm, --services, --mirrorservice, --startstopservices options and use proper global/use_lvmetad default value
This patch adds new options to lvmconf:

  --enable-halvm (just like --enable-cluster, but configure LVM
                  for use in HA LVM - meaning disabling lvmetad and
                  making sure we have locking_type=1)

  --disable-halvm (just like --disable-cluster, but configure LVM
                   back from HA LVM - meaning enabling lvmetad if
                   it's enabled by default and making sure we have
                   default locking type set)

  --services (causes clvmd and lvmetad services to be enabled or
              disabled appropriately and conforming to the changes
              in lvm configuration we've just made with lvmconf)

  --mirrorservice (in addition to clvmd and lvmetad services, also
                   enable or disable cmirrord service appropriately;
                   this is a separate option because cmirrord is
                   optional and it doesn't need to be always enabled
                   when clvmd is enabled)

  --startstopservices (in addition to enabling or disabling services,
                       start and stop these services immediately)

These options are supposed to help users to make their system ready
for cluster with clvmd (active-active) or HA LVM (active-passive) use
while lvmconf script can handle services as well so users don't need
to bother about setting them manually.

Also, before this patch, we hardcoded global/use_lvmetad=0 as default
value in lvmconf script. Howeverm this default may change by just
flipping the value in config_settings.h and we may forget to edit
the lvmconf. It's better to use lvm dumpconfig --type default global/use_lvmetad
to get the actual default value and use this one instead of hardcoded one.

1e65fdd9ba system_id: make new VGs read-only for old lvm versions
Previous versions of lvm will not obey the restrictions
imposed by the new system_id, and would allow such a VG
to be written.  So, a VG with a new system_id is further
changed to force previous lvm versions to treat it as
read-only.  This is done by removing the WRITE flag from
the metadata status line of these VGs, and putting a new
WRITE_LOCKED flag in the flags line of the metadata.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, also obey the
new system_id.  For these lvm versions, WRITE_LOCKED is
identical to WRITE, and the rules associated with matching
system_id's are imposed.

A new VG lock_type field is also added that causes the same
WRITE/WRITE_LOCKED transformation when set.  A previous
version of lvm will also see a VG with lock_type as read-only.

Versions of lvm that recognize WRITE_LOCKED, must also obey
the lock_type setting.  Until the lock_type feature is added,
lvm will fail to read any VG with lock_type set and report an
error about an unsupported lock_type.  Once the lock_type
feature is added, lvm will allow VGs with lock_type to be
used according to the rules imposed by the lock_type.

When both system_id and lock_type settings are removed, a VG
is written with the old WRITE status flag, and without the
new WRITE_LOCKED flag.  This allows old versions of lvm to
use the VG as before.
